This applies to request from individuals or societies for OARSI to develop an initiative or guideline. An OARSI member must be the Principal Investigator on an OARSI initiative. An OARSI Board member will be appointed as a liaison to the initiative.

OARSI will not endorse industry initiatives (e.g. white papers, product specific promotions, outcomes development etc.) but may endorse industry meetings/educational activities, such as symposia, workshops and courses when they fall within the mission of OARSI.
